A Boss’s Definition of Work From Home Caused an Employee to Quit Instantly

by Matthew Gilligan

A Reddit user shared a post where they talked about why they quit a new job after just three days.

The reason: they were told they could have a hybrid work schedule and work from the office AND remotely…which didn’t turn out to be the case.

Which brings up a good question: why are companies dishonest in job ads if they know it’s going to hurt them when people quit shortly after starting?

Here’s what the person had to say.
